Forgot my online meeting for my brain‑illness support group today. Maybe the day was still good. I wrote a lot, but my process is too time‑consuming—though I enjoy it. It’s time‑consuming because I like doing my morning pages the old‑fashioned way: handwriting with ink on paper. Then I feel bad if they don’t get uploaded to the Journal app.
I stayed home most of the day with my housemate, who rested. We watched cat videos and ate a big steak for dinner, so it was a peaceful time. I still want an extravagant leather duffel bag—I’m not sure why, but it seems tied to traveling and feeling at home while on the road. There’s also a strange urge to intimidate coffee‑shop servers, just to force their respect. That isn’t rational.
I’ve arranged tickets to meet a good friend from another state next month for a day. We’ll both travel to a midway point between our homes, so I’m looking forward to that meeting. I posted on PLM Online today—it’s been a long time since I visited that site, and I still feel a little attached, though it’s not the main focus of my online life.

What changed... made the trip plan, so future looks positive. That also had the effect on the fun score. But one did not get out of the house or exert oneself in walking. Will raise that factor by tomorrow.
The goals of this week:
Meet counselor at their office that is across town.
Wash the blanket that is on the bed.
Stay on en even level at home.
Try to go to a shop for writing the morning pages by tomorrow.
Register for another online peer support meeting.
Get the vacuum into a state where it can get used for good in the house.
